LENT 4 SUNDAY
In this Mass, the colour violet or rose is used. Instrumental music is permitted, and the altar may be decorated with flowers.
On this Sunday we celebrate the second scrutiny in preparation for the Baptism of the catechumens who are to be admitted to the Sacraments of Christian Initiation at the Easter Vigil, using the proper prayers and intercessions as given in The Roman Missal.
Entrance Antiphon
Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all who love her. Be joyful, all who were in mourning; exult and be satisfied at her consoling breast.
The Gloria in excelsis (Glory to God in the highest) is not said.
Collect
O God, who through your Word reconcile the human race to yourself in a wonderful way, grant, we pray, that with prompt devotion and eager faith the Christian people may hasten towards the solemn celebrations to come. Through our Lord. . .
Theme of the Sunday: The Christian: A Person Who “Has Received the Light.”
The Christians of the first centuries used to call those who received Baptism during the Easter Vigil the “enlightened.” The theme of light is found in the three readings of today. The first reading tells us that whoever has not received the light judges things through human eyes; in reality he cannot see at all. The Gospel tells us how to reach the light. The second reading completes this theme by telling us what we should do to defeat darkness.
FIRST READING 1 Samuel
16:1.6-7.10-13
David is anointed king of Israel.
A reading from the first Book of Samuel
In those days: The LORD said to Samuel,
"Fill your horn with oil, and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among
his sons." When they came, he looked on Eliab
and thought, "Surely the LORD's anointed is before him." But the LORD
said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his
stature, because I have rejected him; for the LORD sees not as man sees; man
looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart." And
Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse,
"The LORD has not chosen these."  And he said, "There remains yet the youngest,
but behold, he is keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send
and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he comes here." And he sent,
and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome.
And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he." Then Samuel
took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the
Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 23:1-3a.3b-4.5.6 (R. 1)
R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I
shall want. Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose. Near restful
waters he leads me; he revives my soul.
R.
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
He guides me along the right path, for the sake
of his name. Though I should walk in the valley of the shadow of death, no evil
would I fear, for you are with me.
R.
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
You have prepared a table before me in the sight
of my foes. My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing.
R.
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life. In the LORD's own house shall I dwell for length of days unending.
R.
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
SECOND READING Ephesians 5:8-14
“Arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.”
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians
Brethren: Once you were darkness, but now you are
light in the Lord; walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found
in all that is good and right and true), and try to learn what is pleasing to
the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose
them. For it is a shame even to speak of the things that they do in secret; but
when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that
becomes visible is light. Therefore it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, and
arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light."
The word of the Lord
VERSE BEFORE THE GOSPEL John 8:12
R. Glory and praise to you, O Christ.

R. Glory and praise to you, O Christ.
GOSPEL John 9:1-41 (Or Shorter)
“O woman, great is your faith!”
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John
At that time: As Jesus passed
by, he saw a man blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi,
who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus
answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the
works of God might be made manifest in him. We must work the works of him who
sent me, while it is day; night comes, when no one can work. As long as I am in
the world, I am the light of the world." As he said this, he spat on the
ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man's eyes with the clay,
saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means Sent).
So he went and washed and came back seeing. The neighbours
and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man
who used to sit and beg?" Some said, "It is he"; others said,
"No, but he is like him." He said, "I am the man." They
said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?" He answered, "The
man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam
and wash'; so I went and washed and received my sight." They said to him, "Where
is he?" He said, "I do not know." They brought to the Pharisees
the man who had formerly been blind. Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his
eyes. The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said
to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see." Some of
the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath." But others said,
"How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was a division
among them. So they again said to the blind man, "What do you say about
him, since he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight,
until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight, and asked
them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now
see?" His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that
he was born blind; but how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who
opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself." His
parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed
that if any one should confess him to be Christ, he
was to be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, "He is of
age, ask him." So for the second time they called the man who had been
blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise; we know that this man is a
sinner." He answered, "Whether he is a sinner, I do not know; one
thing I know, that though I was blind, now I
see." They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your
eyes?" He answered them, "I have told you already, and you would not
listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you too want to become his
disciples?" And they reviled him, saying, "You are his disciple, but
we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for
this man, we do not know where he comes from." The man answered,
"Why, this is a marvel! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he
opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is a worshiper of God and does his will, God
listens to him. Never since the world began has it been heard that any one
opened the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do
nothing." They answered him, "You were born in utter sin, and would
you teach us?" And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him
out, and having found him he said, "Do you believe in the Son of
man?" He answered, "And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"
Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and it is he who speaks to
you." He said, "Lord, I believe"; and he worshipped him. Jesus
said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may
see, and that those who see may become blind." Some of the Pharisees near
him heard this, and they said to him, "Are we also blind?" Jesus said
to them, "If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you
say, 'We see,' your guilt remains.

Theme of the Sunday: God’s Judgement.
We can do nothing to merit our salvation. Our own evil actions only bring about condemnation. God gives us salvation gratuitously, as the second reading tells us. The first reading insists it is our own fault when we refuse to follow God. We condemn ourselves to unhappiness. The gospel speaks of a love of God so great that he gives us his only Son and insists that it is our responsibility to choose how we reply to his invitation.

SECOND READING Ephesians 2:4-10
“When we were dead through our trespasses, we were saved by grace.”
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians
Brethren: God, who is rich in mercy, out of the
great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our
trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in
Christ Jesus, that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of
his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been
saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God --
not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we
should walk in them.

VERSE BEFORE THE GOSPEL John 3:16

GOSPEL John 3:14-21
“God sent the Son that the world might be saved through him.”
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Lent
At that time: Jesus said to Nicodemus,
“As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be
lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."  For God sent the Son into the world, not to
condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who
believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the
judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather
than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates
the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen
that his deeds have been wrought in God.

Theme of the Sunday: Saved by the Love of the Father.
The first reading prepared us for the message contained in the gospel. The people of Israel did not reach freedom by themselves. They were not saved by their own strength, but by God. The younger son of the parable did not find his way home by himself; he was led back by the freely-given, unlimited love of his father. Do we identify with either of these sons? Don’t we find in us something of the younger one, but something too of the elder? When do we think differently from the Father? Isn’t there anything we can change? The second reading is an invitation to be reconciled to God and to other members of the community, and is thus in harmony with the theme of the Sunday.

God reconciled us to himself through Christ.
A reading from the second Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians
Brethren: If any one is
in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has
come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and
gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling
the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and
entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So we are ambassadors for
Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be
reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that
in him we might become the righteousness of God.

GOSPEL Luke 15:1-3.11-32
“This your brother was dead, and is alive.”
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
At that time: The tax
collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear Jesus. And the Pharisees
and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with
them." So he told them this parable: "There was a man who had
two sons; and the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the
share of property that falls to me.' And he divided his living between them.
Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took his journey
into a far country, and there he squandered his property in loose living. And
when he had spent everything, a great famine arose in that country, and he began
to be in want. So he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that
country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have
fed on the pods that the swine ate; and no one gave him anything. But when he
came to himself he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread
enough and to spare, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my
father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and
before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me as one of
your hired servants."' And he arose and came to his father. But while he
was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and
embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned
against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
But the father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it
on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; and bring the fatted
calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; for this my son was dead, and
is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to make merry.
"Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the
house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked
what this meant. And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father
has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.' But he
was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, but he
answered his father, 'Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never
disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry
with my friends.  And he said to him, 'Son,
you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to make
merry and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost,
and is found.'"

The nighttime is still full of dark things, as always. Stirrings in the unseen blackness between walls and windows, silence among the trees — these are natives to the soil of the night. Through the leaves and a light mist I can see dim lights that don’t fully penetrate the canopy. I hear strange, elusive songs that howl in a distant direction. Time has passed, too much time. Yet these things never change. I like it. Still.
–
The reports of my death are greatly exagerated, I should tell you. Not to mention that I’ve always wanted to say that.
But seriously. If that’s what you’ve heard, you’ve been misinformed. I myself heard it from an IT specialist on the outskirts of Amsterdam. Which was weird.
It was unnerving to hear — to say nothing of having an argument with — a perfect stranger about your current status as a living being. He insisted I was dead, the story being that I’d perished needlessly along with the other passengers on that Air France flight from Rio.
“Why would I be in Rio?” I asked him. “I have absolutely NOthing I want to do in Rio.”
He dodged and I lunged and eventually we came to an understanding. But I had to insist, and that’s usually when things get ugly. Thankfully, he just fixed my hard drive problem and I got out of there and went back to New York.
There’s been a lot of that lately, this business of crossing the Atlantic once a week for months on end. It’s becoming routine, almost. Sure, the miles pile up and the whiskey is free, but who cares? I have plenty of whiskey at home.  There is no way around that.
Laura and I had had a good week in Iceland just before all of this got underway so it started off on the right foot with some camping, hiking, subzero temperatures and landscapes that defy any existing means of description that I’m aware of. Once I had switched into professional mode I made the best of it, taking weekends as they came, when I had them, to meet up with the right people in the right places. Paul was working in Paris at the time and did the right thing by taking a train to Rotterdam where I picked him up and we drove to Berlin. The next weekend Laura did a similarly right thing by flying to Zurich, where I met up with her and we had ourselves a proper Swiss weekend, followed the next weekend by a proper Belgian weekend. That’s how I make the best of this situation. And that’s alright.
But as you can imagine, it was somewhere between Bruges, Zurich and Berlin that I started to lose my bearings once again. Fleeing to the US had done me little good. After over four months of attempted residence in the heart of hearts I had started to feel safe, far from their grip and the beckoning of my whining clients.
Foolish.
When you’re this good at something, there will always be someone willing to pay you to not give it up. I learned that with a few carrots and the yank of thier chain, after which they got me right back to where I’d been when I fled.
Which is how I found myself again in the center of the old city in Amsterdam at the Haven van Texel, an old favorite thinking spot of mine. It was a typical summer night in the Dutch capital, tourists floundering about and locals ignoring them the way they do so well. Neither tourist nor local, at the edge of a large umbrella I sipped a thin beer under a heavy air. The split pea soup is pretty good too, but that’s not part of the scene.
In the late evening the whole sky had come down over Amsterdam and afterwards, the rain having passed, the atmosphere had become dense and thick. The waiters walked around with a dripping wet rag, wiping whole puddles off of tables. People need to drink, after all.
In this scene I sat, as I said, sipping my thin beer, watching the boats round the curve at the Oudezijds Achterburgwal gracht while I got back to some basics with Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. I’d always suspected that American history was rooted in some shady stories but I didn’t know the half of it, it seems.
But the boats — they kept passing, the curves never seeming to run out of them. A small one meandered ‘round the bend and stopped at an inconspicuous doorway at the water level with no lights on. I wondered what they were doing there, in that dark corner out of sight that only only ducks and villains even notice. A place where people vanish into the night. Strange things happen in these places, right before our eyes. Sights and symbols are everywhere and it’s up to us to turn away and let them happen.
Which is exactly what I did. I don’t need the extra stress, man.
The uncertainties and pressures of the path I’ve been walking for the better part of this last year are out of sight. Politics doesn’t begin to describe it. I’m still waiting on a gaggle of statute of limitations so you’ll pardon the lack of specifics, but it’s a doozy. Suffice to say that it involves a lot of very roundabout language, 24-7 monitoring of all communications on every channel and of course, a LOT of air travel. The amazing thing is that it’s working well when I’m amazed it’s working at all.
The gist of it is this: I’ve been working in what equates to a pressurized bee-hive. Deadlines loom and crumbling deliverables are demanded as if Jesus had just walked out of the desert. Meanwhile, touchy topics like layoffs and salary reductions fly unchecked through people’s inboxes and nobody know’s what’s going to happen. Like some half-mad badger in a paper cage they keep me under the guise of effectiveness, skill and track record, but I know better.  Sooner or later, when the walls of irreconsilable confusion come down and the barbarians come rushing in shouting for actual credentials I exepect to see the nail end of a finger protruding out of a very expensive suit.
That’s kind of a typical day for me, I guess. I hear I’m not alone but I sure as hell don’t see it.
Later that night, darkness continued to fill the space as the early signs of midnight called for the sun to set sometime after 10. Amsterdam is farther north than most people realize and in late June the place sometimes feels a bit like Oslo with the canals of Venice and the heavy air of Florida. Without, you know, the Cubans.
Just kidding. There are plenty of Cubans here.
Glowing windows in the dark raise questions and stir desires. What’s in there? And who? What are they doing? And could I do it better? I’m no longer able to distinguish fear from anxiety, politics from causality. Things start to fall apart.
The banjo blues still play in my head and my eyes wander the scenes looking for a grip, a handle — something to help it all along the way. There used to be a fine line that dictated equilibrium for me, between alcohol and sleep. That balance was maintained, day in and day out. Who knows where it’s gone to now?


Library: Foundation
Package: Threading
Header: Poco/ErrorHandler.h
Description
This is the base class for thread error handlers.
An unhandled exception that causes a thread to terminate is usually silently ignored, since the class library cannot do anything meaningful about it.
The Thread class provides the possibility to register a global ErrorHandler that is invoked whenever a thread has been terminated by an unhandled exception. The ErrorHandler must be derived from this class and can provide implementations of all three exception() overloads.
The ErrorHandler is always invoked within the context of the offending thread.

Constructors
ErrorHandler
ErrorHandler();
Creates the ErrorHandler.
Destructor
~ErrorHandler
virtual ~ErrorHandler();
Destroys the ErrorHandler.
Member Functions

Polling and Predictions for 2017
[Unfinished] Since the Free National Movement (FNM) won its first election in 1992 with 32/49 seats, neither the FNM nor the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has ever won re-election as the controlling party. We have flipped back and forth between the two for over two decades but in 2017, that may change.
The current FNM party leader, Hubert Minnis, has faced heavy criticism from his own party members who are attempting to have him removed as their leader. Loretta Butler Turner, Member of Parliament for Long Island, is the forerunner for the leadership position - this comes after a [failed attempt][2] from her to gain leadership of the FNM back in May.
Many view the move as damaging to the FNM’s chances to win election but if we have learned anything from the chaos Donald Trump invoked within the republican party - which now controls the US House and Senate with republican Donald Trump at the head - it’s that people can overlook a whole mess of things. What’s important one week is not important the next and with 5 months remaining until voting takes place, anything could happen.
A woman as the leader of a major political party would be historic (A lack of term limits made anyone besides Hubert Ingraham or Perry Christie historic really). A woman as Prime Minister would be historic. Despite the Bahamas’ [checkered past][3] with woman’s rights issues, this could be the new reality in 2017.
Still standing between the PLP-FNM feud is the Democratic National Alliance (DNA). The party entered the arena in 2011 and, while Branville McCartney and his party did not win any seats in the 2012 election, they have been growing their ranks and remaining outspoken against both competiting parties.
Like the United States, the Bahamas employs a first-past-the-post voting system - a winner-takes-all scenario. This system encourages tactical voting as a vote for anyone other than the runner up are effectively votes for the winner. This is true because by voting for any other candidate, the voter has taken potential votes away from the second place candidate who could have won if they had received those votes. In this way, voters are incentivized to vote only for candiates they believe are likely to win - lest they waste their vote. Duverger’s Law suggests that first-past-the-post systems generally tend towards two-party systems. The DNA will have a difficult time gaining a meaningful foothold in government.
I would love to see a live and recorded debate between the three major party leaders where they discuss the issues. I think it’s an important first step to making politicians stand for something and explain their plans beyond generic talking points like ‘reduce crime’ and ‘fix immigration’. It would also be a better platform for argument and discussion than constant attack pieces in the news.
I suspect crime to remain high and national exam scores to remain low. The elections are likely to overshadow these issues entirely, although there have been no successful remedies in the past regardless.

Manage open datasets.
STATS DATASET
NAME=dataset
ACTIVATE=existing dataset
WINDOW=ASIS** or FRONT
CLOSE = datasets or ALL
KEEP = datasets
DISPLAY = NO** or YES
/HELP
* Required
** Default
/HELP displays this help and does nothing else.
This example closes all datasets except the one named w.STATS DATASET CLOSE=ALL KEEP=w.
This assigns the name a to the active dataset; then activates dataset b, and finally closes datasets c and d.
STATS DATASET NAME=a ACTIVATE=b CLOSE=c d.
If no keywords are given, the command will do nothing.
All of the functionality of STATS DATASET maps to built-in DATASET commands, but it provides some conveniences and can handle the “almost all” case for closing datasets.
Note that closing a dataset does not necessarily remove it from the session. The active dataset does not have to have a name. However, an unnamed active dataset would be removed from the session if another (named) dataset is activated.
NAME specifies a dataset name to assign to the active dataset.
ACTIVATE specifies a dataset to be activated. WINDOW=ASIS or FRONT specifies the window behavior for ACTIVATE.
CLOSE specifies datasets to be closed. It can be a list of dataset names or ALL.
KEEP specifies datasets not to close whether or not they are listed or implied in CLOSE. Specifying KEEP without CLOSE means that all datasets except the KEEP list will be closed.
Any names specified that do not exist are silently ignored, but errors in NAME or ACTIVATE stop the command.
DISPLAY specifies whether or not to run a DATASET DISPLAY command.
The steps are executed in the order that these keywords are listed. That is, first NAME; then ACTIVATE/WINDOW; then CLOSE/KEEP; finally DISPLAY.

command t behavior when buffer is already open
-
anonymous
Is there anything that can be done about having command T work with buffers that are already open? Here is what I would LOVE:
- calling command T shows the list with all files currently open in buffers *highlighted*
- if the buffer is open in a tab or a split and you select that file to open, jump to that tab or split
- if the buffer is hidden, load it in the current window
Thoughts?
-
Greg Hurrell
Have you tried the buffer navigator? See
:CommandTBuffer
Generally in a large project (ie. 10,000+ files) you're only going to see a small number of files at any one time in the match listing (eg. 10), so I don't know if there's much value of highlighting them.

Things to remember
The state of Maharashtra shows immense participation in the lotteries. A large number of people wish to their luck to take home large sums of money. But the ticket holders need to keep certain things in mind. The tickets that the Maharashtra Lottery winners are going to present have to be intact and without any damage. The presentation of a mutilated ticket will not be accepted and he/she shall not be given the prize money. Also, the lottery ticket should not be torn or damaged. The winner should carry a proper identification card along with passport size photographs.

Runs a specified macro when a particular key or key combination is pressed.
Syntax
ON.KEY(key_text, macro_text)
Key_text can specify any single key, or any key combined with ALT, CTRL, or SHIFT, or any combination of those keys (in Microsoft Excel for Windows) or COMMAND, CTRL, OPTION, or SHIFT or any combination of those keys (in Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh). Each key is represented by one or more characters, such as "a" for the character a, or "{ENTER}" for the ENTER key.
To specify characters that aren't displayed when you press the key, such as ENTER or TAB, use the codes shown in the following table. Each code in the table represents one key on the keyboard.
| Key | Code |
| BACKSPACE | "{BACKSPACE}" or "{BS}" |
| BREAK | "{BREAK}" |
| CAPS LOCK | "{CAPSLOCK}" |
| CLEAR | "{CLEAR}" |
| DELETE or DEL | "{DELETE}" or "{DEL}" |
| DOWN | "{DOWN}" |
| END | "{END}" |
| ENTER (numeric keypad) | "{ENTER}" |
| ENTER | "~" (tilde) |
| ESC | "{ESCAPE} or {ESC}" |
| HELP | "{HELP}" |
| HOME | "{HOME}" |
| INS | "{INSERT}" |
| LEFT | "{LEFT}" |
| NUM LOCK | "{NUMLOCK}" |
| PAGE DOWN | "{PGDN}" |
| PAGE UP | "{PGUP}" |
| RETURN | "{RETURN}" |
| RIGHT | "{RIGHT}" |
| SCROLL LOCK | "{SCROLLLOCK}" |
| TAB | "{TAB}" |
| UP | "{UP}" |
| F1 through F15 | "{F1}" through "{F15}" |
In Microsoft Excel for Windows, you can also specify keys combined with SHIFT and/or CTRL and/or ALT. In Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, you can also specify keys combined with SHIFT and/or CTRL and/or OPTION and/or COMMAND. To specify a key combined with another key or keys, use the following table.
| To combine with | Precede the key code by |
| SHIFT | "+" (plus sign) |
| CTRL | "^" (caret) |
| ALT or OPTION | "%" (percent sign) |
| COMMAND | "*" (asterisk) |
To assign a macro to one of the special characters (+, ^, %, and so on), enclose the character in brackets. For example, ON.KEY("^{+}", "InsertItem") assigns a macro named InsertItem to the key sequence CTRL+PLUS SIGN.
Macro_text is the name of a macro that you want to run when key_text is pressed. The reference must be in text form.
If macro_text is "" (empty text), nothing happens when key_text is pressed. This form of ON.KEY disables the normal meaning of keystrokes in Microsoft Excel.
If macro_text is omitted, key_text reverts to its normal meaning in Microsoft Excel, and any special key assignments made with previous ON.KEY functions are cleared.
Remarks
ON.KEY remains in effect until you clear it or quit Microsoft Excel. You can clear ON.KEY by specifying key_text and omitting the macro_text argument.
If the macro sheet containing macro_text is closed when you press key_text, an error is returned.
If another macro is running when you press key_text, macro_text will not run.
Examples
Suppose you wanted the key combination SHIFT+CTRL+RIGHT to run the macro Print. You use the following macro formula:
ON.KEY("+^{RIGHT}", "Print")
To return SHIFT+CTRL+RIGHT to its normal meaning, you would use the following macro formula:
ON.KEY("+^{RIGHT}")
To disable SHIFT+CTRL+RIGHT altogether, you would use the following macro formula:
ON.KEY("+^{RIGHT}", "")
Related Functions
CANCEL.KEY Disables macro interruption
ERROR Specifies what action to take if an error is encountered while a macro is running
SEND.KEYS Sends a key sequence to an application

What exactly counts as "visitors tested"?
One visitor is counted when the visitor is introduced to a new test for the first time. All the subsequent times when that same test is presented to the same visitor are not added to this number. If you run out of this resource all active tests will be stopped.
Example: You are running one test on the element that is present on every page of your website. Jane visits your website for the first time and explores 10 pages. Jack visits your website, but quits after checking out 2 pages and comes back the next day. All this action will count as 2 visitors tested.
Important! A/B Testing Lab does NOT provide any new visitors to your website. This service provides the tools to run content experiments with the traffic that your website is already getting by itself. When your plan ends or you stop the tests, your visitors will see the default version of the website without any changes. Simple as that.
Do I need a lot of technical expertise to use A/B Testing Lab?
Not really. Installing our snippet onto your website is rather straightforward if you have at least some knowledge on HTML. Creating tests with visual editor is a breeze. If you know some CSS and HTML, it will allow you to create more complex tests, but that's not necessary to conduct effective testing.
Are there any limits to the amount of tests?
You can run as many tests as you want.
Will A/B Testing Lab work with any browser?
Visitors with all modern mobile and desktop browsers (IE6+) will be able to see your tests. The visual editor will work fine with most browsers, but it is recommended to use the latest version of Chrome.
How does A/B Testing Lab work?
Does A/B Testing Lab affect the loading time?
Barely if at all. The script is compressed and takes about 35Kb, depending on the number of tests you are running. Compare that to the average web page which is 1,935Kb and uses 95 HTTP requests. It is completely static and it will be cached in the browser, so a file is downloaded only on the first visit or when you change the tests.
To avoid "flashing" effect (when the original content is visible for a split second until it is changed), which might occur on slower computers or bigger websites, script hides web page content for 500ms. This is rarely noticeable to the end user, but gives enough time for the script to put variations in their place. If you have problems with this approach or simply do not like it, you can adjust or remove the content of the <script> tag while keeping the src attribute untouched.
Will A/B tests affect my SEO?
No, according to Google. Just make sure that your variations are not completely different versions of the page.
Why don't you allow to specify a test goal instead of reach? I want to stop testing once noticeable improvement is reached.
This might sound like a good idea, but in reality the results of such tests might not be statistically meaningful. If you run a test up until you get a result you want, the risk of getting a false-positive is greatly increased. Instead you should decide on test limits in advance and then stick to it. If you do not get a definitive result, then run a new, improved test, instead of running the same test until you see the desired result. Read more on this topic here.

.NET 5.0 is the next major release of .NET Core following 3.1. We named this new release.NET 5.0 instead of .NET Core 4.0 for two reasons: We skipped version numbers 4.x to avoid confusion with .NET Framework 4.x. We dropped "Core" from the name to emphasize that this is the main implementation of .NET going forward.

NAME
script - make typescript of terminal sessionSYNOPSIS
script [-a ] [-c COMMAND ] [-f ] [-q ] [-t ] [file ]DESCRIPTION
Script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal. It is useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive session as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file can be printed out later with lpr(1).If the argument file is given, script saves all dialogue in file If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript
Options:
- -a
- Append the output to file or typescript retaining the prior contents.
- -c COMMAND
- Run the COMMAND rather than an interactive shell. This makes it easy for a script to capture the output of a program that behaves differently when its stdout is not a tty.
- -f
- Flush output after each write. This is nice for telecooperation: One person does `mkfifo foo; script -f foo' and another can supervise real-time what is being done using `cat foo'.
- -q
- Be quiet.
- -t
- Output timing data to standard error. This data contains two fields, separated by a space. The first field indicates how much time elapsed since the previous output. The second field indicates how many characters were output this time. This information can be used to replay typescripts with realistic typing and output delays.
The script ends when the forked shell exits (a control-D to exit the Bourne shell ( sh(1)) and exit , logout or control-d (if ignoreeof is not set) for the C-shell, csh(1)).
Certain interactive commands, such as vi(1), create garbage in the typescript file. Script works best with commands that do not manipulate the screen, the results are meant to emulate a hardcopy terminal.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variable is utilized by script- SHELL
- If the variable SHELL exists, the shell forked by script will be that shell. If SHELL is not set, the Bourne shell is assumed. (Most shells set this variable automatically).
SEE ALSO
csh(1) (for the history mechanism), scriptreplay(1).HISTORY
The script command appeared in BSD 3.0BUGS
Script places everything in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces. This is not what the naive user expects.AVAILABILITY
The script command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.

Why the real winner of Jose Mourinho joining Spurs is Amazon Prime Video
by Samuel RobertsWhy the real winner of Jose Mourinho joining Spurs is Amazon Prime Video
Amazon's All or Nothing season 2 is about Tottenham
(Image credit: Amazon)
The big football news of the past few days is the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino following a dire start to the season, and the subsequent hiring of not-at-all-divisive manager Jose Mourinho. For Spurs fans, it's a rough but interesting week, but for Amazon, it might end up being a big win.
As noted by Shortlist, Amazon UK has the rights to air a few Spurs game this season, including December 4th's big Man Utd vs Tottenham game, which suddenly becomes a lot more dramatic with Mourinho at the helm.
But the even bigger win could come down the line, in 2020. Last month, Spurs announced the next season of Amazon sports documentary anthology All or Nothing is to feature the club as a focus (the first football-focused series was about Manchester City's 2017/2018 season). The trajectory of Spurs' 2019/2020 season combined with the hiring of Mourinho suddenly changes the appeal of this documentary entirely.
Surely no one at Spurs could've predicted the season would pan out like this when the program was first discussed?
Back of the net
That said, All or Nothing won't just be about the dramatic happenings on the pitch or behind-the-scenes at the club.
The announcement also made it clear that it will focus on (deep breath...):
"The unique aspects of the Club, including its extensive work and impact in helping to transform the local area and showcasing the workings of our world-class stadium, with its ground-breaking multi-use functionality allowing it to play host to all our first team fixtures as well as a raft of major sport and entertainment events throughout the course of the season including the recent successful launch of NFL matches in Tottenham and Saracens' annual Premiership Rugby 'Big Game' fixture next year."
Well, none of that sounds anywhere near as exciting as what's gone down this week. All or Nothing will release on Amazon Prime in the second half of 2020.

Custom Attributes
LDAP attributes, SAML attributes, OpenID Connect user claims--whatever you call them--many organizations have business-specific information about people that needs to be shared with applications. For simplicity, this article will refer to them as "attributes." Existing standard schemas like the LDAP inetOrgPerson standard, or the OpenID Connect user claims define attributes like first name, last name and email address. Where possible, we recommend you use standard attributes that are already defined in the Gluu Server. But what if there is an attribute that is just not in any standard schema? This article will explain what you need to do to configure the Gluu Server to support your new attributes, and give you some advice along the way with regard to best practices. We will use fictional Company Acme Inc., which has requirements for "acmeCustNumber" and "acmeStateLicenseNumber".
Using oxTust
Additional attributes can be added from the Gluu Server GUI, oxTrust, by clicking the Add Attribute button. Then, the following screen will appear:
-
Name: This field defines the name of the custom attribute which must be unique in the Gluu Server LDAP tree.
-
SAML1 URI: This field contains the SAML1 uri for the custom attribute.
-
SAML2 URI: This field contains the SAML2 uri for the custom attribute.
-
Display Name: This display name can be anything that is human readable.
-
Type: The attribute type should be selected from the drop-down menu. There are four attribute types supported by Gluu:
- Text
- Numeric
- Photo
-
Date
-
Edit Type: This field controls which type of an user is allowed to edit corresponding attribute at his/her "Profile" page of the web UI (when feature "User can edit own profile" is enabled).
-
View Type: This field controls which type of an user is allowed to view corresponding attribute at his/her "Profile" page of the web UI.
-
Privacy Level: Please select the desired privacy level from the drop-down menu. The privacy level has a specific range of 1 to 5.
-
Multivalued: Please select multivalue in this field if the attribute contains more than one value.
-
SCIM Attributes: If the attribute is a part of SCIM architecture select true.
-
Description: This contains a few words to describe the attribute.
-
Status: The status, when selected active, will release and publish the attribute in IdP.
Where are these attributes stored? During installation, the Gluu Server creates
a default objectclass specific for your organization. If you view
/opt/opendj/config/schema/100-user.ldif
, you'll see an objectclass called
something like ox-43A94B45403D3B0A00010D87EAF2
(where this number is your
organization identifier.) Any objects you add through the UI will be added to this
objectclass. In the JSON configuration for oxTrust, you'll see two properties:
personObjectClassTypes
and personCustomObjectClass
where this objectclass is
referenced. Also, you'll see the display name for this objectclass referenced in
the personObjectClassDisplayNames
property (default value is "custom").
OpenID Scopes
In OpenID Connect, scopes are used to group attributes, and to provide a human
understandable description of the attributes. This improves usability when you need
to prompt a person to approve the disclosure of attributes to a third party. For
example, instead of asking the user if its ok to release her address,
city, state, and country, and providing a description of each attribute,
it may be easier to ask the person if its ok to release "mailing address
information." In situations where the attributes may confuse the person,
OpenID Scopes are a really good thing. Although the OpenID Connect spec says an OP
may release individual scopes, the Gluu Server only releases scopes.
An example of the default Gluu Server authorization request can be seen here:
So if you have custom attributes, you may need to define a custom OpenID Scope. This is pretty easy to do using the oxTrust user interface, and you can just select the attributes that you previously registered.
What attributes to put in what scopes depends on your privacy requirements. If there is an attribute that is particularly sensitive, it may need its own scope (i.e. a scope with just one attribute). A good example of this is 'dateOfBirth.' For minors, this can be sensitive information, and your organization may need more control about which OpenID Connect clients with which to share this scope.
In oxTrust configuration, be careful about making a scope available by
default. This would mean that any client that registers via Dynamic Client
Registration could request this scope. The OpenID Connect specification only
requires the release of the openid
scope, which should just contain the
person identifier in the domain (i.e. for Google, this would be your Google id).
However, rules were meant to be broken, so if you have a reason to release
a scope by default, go for it!
Custom NameID
Gluu Server comes with the transientID
attribute which is the default NameID
.
If there are other NameID
requirements, it is possible to create them as well.
The custom attribute must be created in oxTrust first before defining it as the NameID
.
Please see the oxTrust custom attribute guide to create the custom attribute in oxTrust.
Defining NameID
The template file for NameID
definitions are located in the attribute-resolver.xml.vm
file under /opt/tomcat/conf/shibboleth2/
.
The example below adds testcustomattribute
as NameID
based on UID attribute. The following are put into the attribute-resolver.xml.vm
file.
- Add declaration for the new attribute
if( ! ($attribute.name.equals('transientId') or $attribute.name.equals('testcustomattribute') ) )
- Add definition for the new attribute
<resolver:AttributeDefinition id="testcustomattribute" xsi:type="Simple"
xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad"
sourceAttributeID="uid">
<resolver:Dependency ref="siteLDAP"/>
<resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML2StringNameID"
xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder"
nameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent" />
</resolver:AttributeDefinition>
- Restart tomcat service
Manual Schema Management Command
Let's say you have a lot of attributes to register. Or you want a more repeatable process for adding schema to the Gluu Server. This next section will document a slightly more geeky way to do automate the process.
First of all, you should create a custom schema file, which you will copy
to /opt/opendj/config/schema
each time you configure a new Gluu Server.
Use your organization name, for example something like 102-acme.ldif.
For more information about creating custom schema in OpenDJ, see the
[ForgeRock OpenDJ Admin Guide]
(https://backstage.forgerock.com/#!/docs/opendj/2.6/admin-guide/chap-schema).
You should consider prefixing the name of your attributes and objectclasses
with your organization. For example, instead of using spamId
use acmeSpamId
.
Restart your LDAP server to make sure the schema is correct. If it's not, the
OpenDJ server will not start.
Now you have the objectclass and attributes in OpenDJ, but the Gluu Server
still does not know about them. You're going to have to "register" these
attributes. Each attribute that you want to make available must have a
corresponding LDAP entry under ou=attributes,o=<org-inum>,o=gluu
. If
you browse your LDAP server after performing a Gluu Server base installation,
you will see that many commonly used attributes are already there. When an
LDAP entry exists for your attribute, it is considered to be "registered".
Note in this example, we are using @!1111 as the organization id, which will
be much longer in a real installation.
There are two ways you can register an attribute. If you are an LDAP geek, you can just create an LDIF file with the correct information, and load it in the LDAP server that is storing your configuration. If you want to quickly spool up new Gluu Servers, this is probably the quickest way to handle it.
dn: inum=@!1111!0005!2B29,ou=attributes,o=@!1111,o=gluu
objectClass: top
objectClass: gluuAttribute
inum: @!1111!0005!2B29
description: How a person would want their name to be presented in writing.
displayName: Display Name
urn: urn:mace:dir:attribute-def:displayName
gluuAttributeName: displayName
gluuAttributeOrigin: gluuPerson
gluuAttributeType: string
gluuAttributeEditType: user
gluuAttributeEditType: admin
gluuAttributeViewType: user
gluuAttributeViewType: admin
gluuStatus: active
A few things to note:
- For the
inum
, after0005!
use a unique identifier--normally a four digit hex number. - If you are using SAML, you will need to make sure that each attribute has a unique
urn
. If you don't likeurn
format, you can use a dns style name here. It supposed to be globally unique. - Make sure
gluuStatus
is active - Set the appropriate description and displayName if possible.
Once you have this ldif file, you should make sure you use ldapmodify
to load it after the during
your Gluu Server installation process.
If you also want to automate loading your custom OpenID scopes, just remember that these scopes reference the DN of the attributes. For example:
dn: inum=@!1111!0009!341A,ou=scopes,o=@!1111,o=gluu
objectClass: oxAuthCustomScope
objectClass: top
defaultScope: false
description: myScope
displayName: myScope
inum: @!43A9.4B45.403D.3B0A!0001!0D87.EAF2!0009!341A
oxAuthClaim: inum=@!1111!0005!2B29,ou=attributes,o=@!1111,o=gluu
oxAuthClaim: inum=@!1111!0005!29DA,ou=attributes,o=@!1111,o=gluu
So you may want to also create an ldif file for each scope, and also load this at installation time.

We use the Internet everyday. Have you ever wondered how your computer communicates with the Global Web? In this stage, we'll learn how to talk to the Internet from your Python script — and interpret the replies! Your program should send an HTTP request to a URL received from the user input. The user input can be a Quotable resource http://api.quotable.io/quotes/-CzNrWMGIg8V
. In this case, the program should print out the Quote extracted from the json
body response.
The user input may also contain an invalid URL or a non-existing quote resource, for example, http://api.quotable.io/quotes/1
, or a different Quotable page (http://api.quotable.io/authors
). Use if-else
statements to check the status_code
or the json
body response to print out the Invalid quote resource!
error message when the response code is different from 200, or when there is no quote in the json
body response. Your program should ask for input.
You may also need a JSON decoder to solve this task. This will allow you to access particular features such as the content, headers, etc. You can use the json()
function from the requests
library or the loads()
function from the json
library. Check out the requests documentation and the json documentation to learn more about them.
In this stage, your program should:
json
body response.Invalid quote resource!
error message if there's no quote or something goes wrong.The greater-than symbol followed by space (>
) represents the user input. Note that it's not part of the input.
Example 1
Input the URL:
> http://api.quotable.io/quotes/-4WQ_JwFWI
The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.
Example 2
Input the URL:
> http://api.quotable.io/quotes/asdfgh
Invalid quote resource!

Learn the Best Way to Get Your Website on the First Page of Google Search Results…
It’s coveted. The pole position, the top dog, the cream of the crop – yes, getting to the first page of Google’s organic search results is the dream of most organizations using the web for business development. No, it’s not impossible, and in this post, I’ll answer the question how to get your website on Google? I’ll discuss the four steps your organization needs to take in order to achieve the corner office of Google results.
#1: Identify the Target Audience
Getting your website on page one of Google means you need to start with step 1 – identify your target audience. Who is the ideal client you are going after? Once you’ve identified your target audience, you should take a look at your analytics to see if the people searching and going to your site fit with your target audience.
#2: Develop a Keyword Strategy
Once the target audience has been identified, the step 2 of getting your website on Google is to develop a strategy around the keywords your target audience would use in their searches in order to find relevant information that your business is able to provide them.
Keyword strategy is an SEO term that is thrown around a lot, but in the most basic form, it involves getting into the minds of your users. If one of your potential customers is going to be looking for your products, how would they enter that in search? What key phrases and combinations of words might they use to find you?
For instance, if you’re trying to sell camera cases, your audience would search for things such as, “case” or “camera case.” You can use those high level ones, as well as longer keyword phrases. If your business is locally based, you can break it down by region, and add locations to your keyword phrases. For example, you may use a keyword phrase such as, “camera cases in Cleveland, Ohio.”
#3 Create Valuable Content
Once your keyword strategy is in place, it’s time to engage step 3 and create content. Getting your website on Google won’t happen without content. The content you create should tell a story or be relevant in some way to the keywords you’ve identified. You can do this in a number of ways, including everything from pushing out blog post to videos to providing content in the form of answers in frequently asked questions sections of your website. Each of these elements needs to be relevant to your keywords.
#4 Code to SEO Standards
Once you have identified your keywords and created a content plan, it’s important to close the loop in step 4 and code your actual website so that it fits with SEO and usability standards.
For example, if your goal was to sell camera cases, you would likely have a lot of images of camera cases on your site. Don’t just drop images with the default image titles such as Image001, Image002, etc., but instead, rename the images using relevant keywords. Camera-cases-for-on-the-go.jpeg is an example of a keyword rich image name.
In addition to that, it’s important to properly use H1 and H2 tags on your website. Google has gotten so good that it scans websites the same way a person would read a site. Because of this newer reality, it’s vital to design your code and content in a way that makes sense to your target users.
While keywords are important, avoid stuffing too many keywords on your site. If you’re looking to get on the first page of Google, your site needs to be friendly and easy for your user to understand so that once they do get there, they’ll want to engage with your site.
